  1. Recharging my AC today. As it's been over 95° here the past three days in a row. Good news is the Efan is keeping the engine cool in the heat. And replacing front wheel bearings, inner/outer and races. Also going to pull my door side rear view mirrors to repaint the moulding part as they are peeling some..

     

     

     

  2. California is a real PITA due to emissions regulations. The CA primary cats for my 01 R50 list at like 895$ US or something close to that. I needed all four and a muffler. I went with catco primary's and catco universals for the secondary's. Since they will not shop to CA I had mine shipped to Colorado. They were significantly cheaper about 350$ each and 120$ each for the secondary's. . I have a few tricks up my sleeve to get it to pass smog as I have already failed in the past I'm now locked into a smog check every other year. I'm still waiting to see my test results come Dec when it's due. As for the muffler I went with a Flowmaster dual in/out and custom high back tail pipes. 2.5" in/out.

     

     

     

  3. E fan might slightly help mpg. Mostly a slightly noticeable power gain due to reduced strain on the engine. Manual locking hubs helped me noticeably by reducing drag from the cv's. When on the street hubs are unlocked and the front wheels are truly free to roll with less drag. But with 35" MTR's I'm down around 9-11 mpg... Luckily I don't have to drive far to work.

     

     

     

  4. Replaced my starter and ended up swapping out my CV axels as well. I bought re manufactured CV's from autozone about 6 months ago and one went bad. Possibly on the trail. However lifetime warranty means free parts and only a couple hrs labor total for me. No more axel klunking sound in the front.

     

     

     

  5. Timing position sensor. Fairly cheap and very easy to replace. Or throttle position sensor. I had to change both of mine as well as the mass air flow sensor. My truck world start and run ok. But when I'd accelerate it would bounce off the rev limiter about 4-5 times before shifting into 2nd gear. (Auto trans). Especially when cold and usually only at first start up and run of the day. Don't think it can be cleaned.

     

     

     

  6. Went to the junk yard the other day.. And actually found a similar model/year pathy that still had the digital clock in the dash! Pulled it out and replaced the old dead clock in my dash.. The stealership wanted 145$!! for a new replacement dash clock. SMH :suicide: Works great! And only cost me 16$
